After 11 years, replacing Continental Extreme Winter Contact with Michelin X-Ice winter tires

 After safely driving close to 100,000 kilometres on Continental Extreme Winter Contact winter tires,

it's time to change tires, and get new ones.

Kilometre reading as of now 196,218.

Theses were the first winter tires installed in October 2009 when the car was new.

It's 11 years today!!


 And I've done a lot of winter highway driving in dangerous conditions, snow and ice!




For a change I'm switching over to Michelin.

2 reasons: 

Continental Extreme Winter Contact tires are no longer available.

And I just want to see how good the Michelin's are in comparison :-)

These rims are the same ones from 2009, i just paint them every year!

Removing the all season tires ...








All set for winter!
No long drives planned this winter, but let's see how the Michelins compare with Continental
in the long run.
